I won't say I completely dread 3-10 nor will I say I completely fall in love with 3-10. But it is kinda confusing plus complicating plus retarded in the sense that everything had changed so much in just a blink of eyes. reaching 365 days, and here I am going to be promoted to sec 4 when school reopens. Things just happen too quickly, sometimes it is just too magical, too scandalous.
2006 impacted me a lot. I tasted victories and defeats. I saw plenty of things using this blur-visioned eyes of mine. I heard tears of saddness and laugthers of joy. I smelt the blood and the sweat flowing down bits by bits. I felt that I grew and matured.
I met new friends. My fellow OAs, Gabriel's Church's friends, My dearest dearest Combined School teammates, my friends' friends, school juniors from lower secondary and so many other people. One word to describe, Unbelievable.
In constrast with having new friends circles, I don't deny the loss of some friends that went through thick and thins with me. But seriously, I don't bear hatred on people. You might be thinking that I am joking but too bad, I just can't find ways and means to prove you wrong. Maybe I was the main cause of everything since I chose to let go. I just could not brace any encourage to even mutter a single word.
2006 is the key to my new chapter of my volleyball life.
After losing my respectable coach that always is proud of me, I felt miserable somehow. I did not cherish Xu JiaoLian when he is around. I still remember the feeling that floated in my mind for the farewell lunch - it is the contrast of sadness and remorseful.
Soon, it was the replacement of LUO. I did not have any good impression of him at all. Juding from his apprearance, his size doesn't seem convincing, his face looks like an ultimate "chee koh". Furthermore, those negative feedback about him during his previous years of coaching seriously made me label him as a "Cannot Make It" product. Till now, I still have this barrier between me and him that could not change my first impression of him.
After the dissapointing departure of Ms Kwok, here comes Mrs Kwok and followed by Ms Chia and Ms Zheng. Volleyball seems to be the most lucky CCA in Catholic High., always planted with fantastic teacher-in-charge.
Volleyball in Catholic High had been a pleasure for me. Meeting a bunch of fun, crazy and nosensical juniors really did manage to brighten my dull life up. Something to be glad of, pioneer batch seems to be closer and closer to each other. May we continue our passion, pursuit our dream and achieve our goal. South Zone Double Champ and National Double Top4.
I went to the Combined School selection not having high hope to be selected (competition was seriously too strong). To my utmost surprise, I got in. From 24 eliminated till 18 and selected 12 to go KL, I felt blessed somehow. I soon became main 6 there. I met Henry and WeiZhi, two of my great buds there. Javier, someone that I always looked up for. Not forgetting the one that alway get suan by me, Mr NoNo and Ah Liao. My two superior setter, Louis and Anwar. Alvin and JunRui, the two giants. Of course, not forgetting my always acting cute junior, MELVIN GOH. We are the one that represented Signapore's Volleyball for some unknown competition. How will I forget Lawrence, Shawn, Vance, Guo Lian, Rui Xiang, Nicholas, and lastly RAYMOND.
Besides them, I have the priviledges to be coached under Ms Teo. Although it was only a short time of less than 4 months, I indeed benefitted a lot from her. She rocks!!
Volleyball seems to be part of my life, soemthing that I don't even want to think about losing it. My passion that was first lit up 8 years ago is once again relighted.
"Lit the Passion, Pursuit the Dream, Achieve the Goal."
"Excellence is the Mindset of Attitude towards Sucess."
May I continue my desire to excel to the fullest in my volleyball career.
Be jealous of me. I earned some money this year just by scoring. 100 buck for Inter-Com. 26 buck for Men's Open. 350 buck for Under13 and Under 16. I met friendly refrees like Chee Keong and Simi. Especially Chee Keong, he taught me a lot of things during the Under 13 period. Of course, I won't forget my fellow OAs like my primary school buddy ZaiYou, primary school junior Billy and my fellow president ANGELA SOH.
Gabriel's friends are simply too great.
I get to know people from lower sec. Now I seems to be popular in 1-1 06 due to my junior Chua YanJie. Oya, did I mention I know Clement Tan (monkey man) whose brother is my sister friend cum my history teacher. And of course, Lower Sec people are really nice to talk with. I mean it.
Friends' friends, this sound confusing. But actually it is just people whom I know through my friends. Share friends in some sense.
I found some long-lost friends like LiYing. Long-lost sounds exaggarating. The last time we met before she added me on friendster was PSLE period. I remember we were actually talking during PSLE. Cool right? And of course, my ex-volleyball friends like Charlotte, MayLin and Seon and my ex-volleyball juniors like Mavis, Peishi and gang.
Talking about studies, I just hink I am such a faliure. I am dumb enough (somehow) to take up the challenge of being a Triple Science student which created a negative impact on me. Maths and Sciences are deteriorating. English is the usually failing standard. Chinese, waiting for 'O' results which I think i am so dead right now. The only subjects that made me proud was actually my unsure subjects, History and Combined Humans. They are the ones that made me feel that there is still a glimmer of hope. Nevermind.
'O's is just next year. Hope I can just get into VJC.
2006's birthday was crap. I celebrated in camp. Weird experience, I cycled 54km that day man. Great achievement for a birthday boy!! I still can't forget I actually spent 270buck for my birthday treat!! That's hurt.
It is a pretty long post, isnt it? But too bad, it doesnt end here. Let hears some shoutouts since Ben Oh shouted at me.
To those who thinks that they fall in here:
Time made a person changed. That's the nature of human beings. It is not that I don't want to talk, I just don't feel like talking since it is inapporiate to talk. I don't own a thick-skin face like you-know-who-he-is (not tengwei I swear). I just want to be neutral standing and not getting involve in anything. Isnt that the safer things that one should do when you belong to this class?
To those who thinks that they fall in here:
Thanks for everything!! I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me in my studies and stuffs. Thanks for always sacrifing your time to entertain me. You guys rock k.
To those who thinks that they fall in here:
Best of luck. Please kindly shut up and just leave here. You are just wasting your oxygen by surviving in this world cause you are just completing oxygen with us.
(and of course, this portion is meant for nobody unless you want to be here).
End of post. Hope everything is fine. New beginning. Better ending.
Hope I wont cry next year writing the same type of post due to my flunking of 'O's.
